| | If you were able to succeed in getting it to install, and luck followed you to let it boot, the performance would be unusable. |

| | In theory you could maybe if you made the USB bootable then set up xp via ur Windows 7 then make it install on to the USB as if it's a hdd |

| | Actually, from my experience, if a game is old enough to only run on XP, it will run fine in a VM, especially if you use one of the apps with 3D support. |

| | I believe VMWare offers it, and I know it is an option to enable in VirtualBox. The problem with many of those older games is that they use 16 bit installers. It isn't really related to th 3D portion. Once you virtualize XP, you can install the games and run them without issue. |
